Who is the least romanced character in bg3?

The character often cited as having the least substantial or most disappointing romance in Baldur's Gate 3, especially early on, is Minthara, due to its short, Act 1-focused nature and lack of follow-through compared to main companions, though some find Halsin or non-origin characters like Jaheira (who isn't romanceable but has approval) less developed in comparison. Minthara's romance feels like a missed opportunity, requiring significant sacrifice for a relationship that largely ends after a single major scene, leading players to feel it's underdeveloped, especially when compared to popular arcs like Shadowheart or Karlach.

In Baldur's Gate 3, Halsin is the primary companion explicitly open to polyamorous relationships, often facilitating threesomes with the player and another companion like Shadowheart or Astarion, though Karlach starts open but requests exclusivity later.

Can you have a harem in BG3?

You can initiate romances with multiple companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but achieving a true, multi-partner "harem" with all companions happy is very difficult and often impossible without mods, as most relationships become exclusive after commitment, leading to jealousy or breakups, with Halsin being a notable exception for being more flexible. While some characters might be fine with sharing early on (like Karlach), most eventually require monogamy once a significant romantic scene occurs, though some creative playthroughs and specific choices (like evil runs or certain companion pairings) can allow for two romances to coexist longer, like Shadowheart and Astarion, or Karlach and Halsin.

Can I romance Shadowheart and Minthara?

Yes, you can romance both Minthara and Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3, but it requires careful, strategic play to manage their conflicting natures (good vs. evil/drow vs. Selunite), often involving separate romantic paths in Act 1 & 2, breaking up with one before the other demands exclusivity, and being prepared for potential bugs or one character's disapproval of the other's involvement.

Shadowheart's "good ending" in Baldur's Gate 3 generally involves her embracing Selûne, freeing herself from Shar's influence, and achieving personal peace, often by saving her parents and choosing a life of quiet happiness, potentially with the player character, though some argue letting her parents die is the "truest" freedom from Shar's torment.
